AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent Hermès silk twill scarf titled “Aux portes du palais” (“At the Palace Gates”), designed by artist Christine Henry in 2008.
A single, exclusive edition, making it rare and sought-after.
Hand-rolled edges.
Made in France.
Hermès Paris logo, copyright Hermès C.
Composition label present.
A little history:
“In the imagination, India evokes magnificent palaces whose construction is governed by the laws of orientation, reflecting a cosmic order. In this scarf, every design is symbolic... Gates are passageways between two worlds, the known and the unknown. At the center of the gates are two trees bearing flowers and fruit: they are trees of life. One tree is upside down; it draws its life from above and brings it down below, with its branches serving as roots. Fruit-bearing trees symbolize fertility (in southern India, two trees are married to one another to encourage fertility in a couple). The figures around the trees are dancing... Hindu dance is first and foremost a language that can tell either a mythological story or a tale of everyday life...”
According to the Arfon art scarf dictionary, it is considered fairly rare and sought-after (last photo).
Like new, with its original folds.
It will be carefully packaged and sent via Colissimo with a tracking number.
